3D people
WooHoo another decoupage day for me today. This had two purposes for me one to stop me eating every bit of chocolate left in the house and the 2nd was to occupy my time instead of doing the boring old house work!!!!!!!!!!!
The First one is a basketball boy made from papernation sheets
The Second one is a little boy enjoying life!!! with his little pup unsure of the make of sheets used for this one, some I had stashed in the cupboard no doubt, Thanks for looking.

I've gone decoupage crazy!
I think decoupage is definitely the way forward for me! I started to make a card tonight with some lovely backing paper I got for halfprice at Hobbycraft. I got halfway through the card and was about to bin it when I got a brainwave. I remembered a cute decoupage buddha I had made some months ago and thought it would make a lovely good luck card. What do you think?

My ever first blog
Thought i would show this card, i decided for a change, as Mariahsoaps is up to date with orders until tomorrow, i got bored, went out and spent a fortune on card making stuff, it all adds up eh?
So what do you think? My youngest daughter is 8 years old and she loves art and crafts, she has decided to decoupage, so i have been showing her how to do, i have not got much patienct at all, but she is getting the hang of it.
Soap, here is a soap scroll, i made a few of these for a wedding, i have not made many of these, i love these scrolls.

Decoupage - a work in progress!
I thought for this post I would show before, during and after photos of a decoupage card I have made. I am really enjoying this skill but it can be tricky and I almost lost this one it was so fiddly!

Something Felty In The Air
There must have been something felty going on at the weekend because I've made some felt brooches too. These are my first attempts so a bit basic but I just fancied doing something else other than Little Snugglers. I don't know what I'm going to do with them yet, might put them on my website and see what happens.

Just for Fun!!
I had a crafty weekend and ended up making this brooch and giving it to my daughter as she loved it. I don't get much chance to sew as I am always filling my spare time with painting so it was nice to do something just for fun. I got a bit of a bug and made some more flowers which I plan to use on a canvas sometime, but for now Shelley is enjoying her brooch.

11,100 felt balls ....
.... arrived yesterday. So now my little old website is fully stocked again.
I've also had a fantastic selection of handmade felt sheets arrive - all 100% wool and I'll be getting the hand dyed silk strings next weekend. So, lots of lovely things for you to use in different projects.
Today I've been helping my little man make a mask of his favourite book character, so that he can take it into school on Monday to support World Book Day. Thank goodness he's only 5 and chose a Mr Men character - my drawing skills really aren't up to much !!
Tomorrow I shall be doing a 10 mile training walk to try and get myself ready for the Breast Cancer Moonwalk I'll be doing in May. For anyone who doesn't know, it's a walking marathon around London over night (hence the name Moonwalk). And this is going to sound really cheeky, but if anyone fancies sponsoring me with the money going to a really good charity / cause, I would be extremely grateful. If you think you'd like to sponsor me, please drop me an email.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

These have been really fun to make and im really pleased with the result. I would like to thank Sand who has given me lots of tips about using and storing fimo, and Kate who is always there to offer and share her knowledge, thanks ladies.

Emma at JellyBelly*JellyBrain emailed me last night and linked me to this cupcake flickr group. (thanks jb) With over 1400 images in the group it took a while to look at all the lovely pics, and by the end I was totally cup caked out!!

Anyway - here are just a few that caught my eye on the flickr group and also some of my lovely cupcakes that I've made over the past few months. >>>

Happy Mothering Sunday
A really hard day for me today with it being Mothering Sunday and all. Even though my mum is no longer around I made this card for my MIL to mark the occasion.
The pyramage card is made from a royalty free image using 7 layers of the same picture.
The verse inside reads:
Somehow we always say the least to those we love the best
And hope our thoughts are understood.
Although they're unexpressed
-That's why it means so very much,
when days like this are here
To say how very much you're loved
each day throughout the year.
Happy Mother's Day
Thanks for looking and Mum's everywhere enjoy your day!

Happy Mother's Day !
Today I finally managed to get a little go on my new embellisher. I've had a few ideas floating around in my head but wasn't sure whether they would be possible to do, so today I spent half an hour trying them out.Egg Cosies !!
I don't think they're bad for a first attempt and they do need a bit of fine tuning, but overall I'm pretty pleased !
Hope all you other Mums out there have had a lovely day !

Mothers Day
Happy mothers day to all mums. Am sat here wondering if I am going to get a chance to do any bathcare products for Fathers day, since I missed Mothersday, Mariahsoaps has been so busy, it's non stop.
I have a few new ideas up my sleeve, when I get a chance to make them, I shall post a few photos of them on here.

I made this card for my Mum's Birthday last week, but it seemed appropriate to post it here today.

Rubber stamped Birthday card - with ribbon and button detail.
I simply stitched the button through the ribbons and fabric to hold in place, then attached the piece to the card with 2 brads on either side. I love my little rubber stamp alphabet set - great for card crafting :)
Hope all Mum's are having a lovely day.
